I've just read an article in today's Evening Standard about some London

Assembly politicians disagreeing with a southward extension of the
Bakerloo Line.
I didn't know an extension was being seriously considered - in fact I
still don't -
but apparently the Mayor has instructed TfL to plan an extension via
Lewisham
to Bromley. According to the Standard, those disagreeing feel an
extension in a
more south-westerly direction would serve Londoners better.

Does anyone have either more details or a firm opinion on this?




So currently Northern Line tubes coming into Waterloo from the South have often started from Kennington and have plenty of available seats, and standing space. And, Bakerloo line trains coming into Waterloo from the South, have started from Elephant and Castle, and have ample seating, and standing space.

Those brilliant politicians have decided that since commuters arriving at Victoria Mainline station have to suffer impossibly packed tube trains, the same pain should be inflicted on Waterloo's commuters.

Absolutely Brilliant thinking.
